I hurt

I hurt, I’m hurt bad.
Open up my heart and it bleeds, it bleeds fast, it bleeds deep.
I’m lost, but yet hopeful. I’m sad yet enlightened.
I’m enlightened – my eyes have been opened to the truth of life – destiny.

I hope not to love, but love I must.
I must love for love is to give not receive,
And in receiving I must cherish those moments that made me love.

I must live, as I love,
I must be strong for I love,
I must live; I must live for the strength of love.
